00:01:18,149 --> 00:01:16,080 you uh we saw you take a test card back 15 00:01:19,749 --> 00:01:18,159 there in preparation for your final exam 16 00:01:20,870 --> 00:01:19,759 with the soyuz today 17 00:01:22,390 --> 00:01:20,880 um 18 00:01:23,990 --> 00:01:22,400 what kinds of scenarios do you think 19 00:01:27,350 --> 00:01:24,000 that you might be tested for as you come 20 00:01:33,830 --> 00:01:31,590 well there's a wide variety of scenarios 21 00:01:34,870 --> 00:01:33,840 not normal situations that we could run 22 00:01:36,630 --> 00:01:34,880 into 23 00:01:38,310 --> 00:01:36,640 the good thing is that most of those 24 00:01:40,469 --> 00:01:38,320 scenarios we practice throughout our 25 00:01:48,310 --> 00:01:40,479 training flow and so we should be ready 26 00:01:53,910 --> 00:01:51,190 yes we have a question for you 27 00:01:57,270 --> 00:01:53,920 i have a question for oleg you already 28 00:01:59,270 --> 00:01:57,280 took those examinations in the past 29 00:02:00,789 --> 00:01:59,280 so my question is 30 00:02:03,270 --> 00:02:00,799 what's the difference between 31 00:02:06,469 --> 00:02:03,280 yesterday's exam and today's 32 00:02:08,790 --> 00:02:06,479 examination so yesterday we were taking 33 00:02:10,710 --> 00:02:08,800 a russian segment examination we had 34 00:02:13,430 --> 00:02:10,720 different tasks 35 00:02:15,030 --> 00:02:13,440 different scenarios different 36 00:02:16,710 --> 00:02:15,040 questions 37 00:02:19,030 --> 00:02:16,720 there was even a different approach to 38 00:02:21,670 --> 00:02:19,040 that examination so today's scenario 39 00:02:25,270 --> 00:02:23,510 we'll be more dynamic 40 00:02:27,750 --> 00:02:25,280 we'll have to be very 41 00:02:30,790 --> 00:02:27,760 concentrated and it will require a lot 42 00:02:32,390 --> 00:02:30,800 of teamwork but we're sure we will excel 43 00:02:51,670 --> 00:02:32,400 that 44 00:02:51,680 --> 00:03:23,430 okay let's go 45 00:03:23,440 --> 00:03:52,710 three 46

training session 63 00:06:17,189 --> 00:06:15,520 however the sequence of all exercises 64 00:06:19,510 --> 00:06:17,199 and examinations is not that important 65 00:06:21,430 --> 00:06:19,520 during our training flow 66 00:06:22,309 --> 00:06:21,440 we were also backup 67 00:06:25,830 --> 00:06:22,319 crew 68 00:06:36,870 --> 00:06:25,840 combinations but we didn't feel any 69 00:06:39,909 --> 00:06:38,950 during my first flight 70 00:06:42,870 --> 00:06:39,919 the 71 00:06:45,909 --> 00:06:42,880 station had only three crew members on 72 00:06:47,909 --> 00:06:45,919 board and there was a different approach 73 00:06:49,510 --> 00:06:47,919 how to train the crew how to use the 74 00:06:51,830 --> 00:06:49,520 current board the station 75 00:06:54,230 --> 00:06:51,840 right now we have

79 00:07:33,990 --> 00:07:22,550 we will not be lightening up the olympic 80 00:07:38,550 --> 00:07:35,909 besides this 81 00:07:40,390 --> 00:07:38,560 eva we will have two more evas on the 82

possible 92 00:08:38,310 --> 00:08:36,159 off-nominal situations that we can 93 00:08:40,310 --> 00:08:38,320 possibly foresee 94 00:08:42,070 --> 00:08:40,320 i cannot tell you which authentic 95 00:08:44,710 --> 00:08:42,080 situation they're having 96 00:08:47,030 --> 00:08:44,720 during the examination today you will 97 00:08:48,790 --> 00:08:47,040 learn about it later 98 00:08:50,870 --> 00:08:48,800 you're interested in it 99 00:08:52,949 --> 00:08:50,880 so you will know that at the end of the 100 00:08:54,630 --> 00:08:52,959 simulation 101 00:08:55,350 --> 00:08:54,640 right now the crew 102 00:08:58,230 --> 00:08:55,360 is 103 00:09:00,949 --> 00:08:58,240 prepared for all of nominal situations 104 00:09:03,910 --> 00:09:00,959 onboard the station sometimes 105 00:09:06,070 --> 00:09:03,920 they might encounter something new um 106 00:09:07,750 --> 00:09:06,080 during our simulations as it can happen 107 00:09:09,269 --> 00:09:07,760 onboard the station 108 00:09:11,590 --> 00:09:09,279 and our simulator of course can have 109 00:09:13,829 --> 00:09:11,600 some issues also 110 00:09:16,630 --> 00:09:13,839 and we're always telling the crew that 111 00:09:18,310 --> 00:09:16,640 any issues with the simulator are also 112 00:09:20,550 --> 00:09:18,320 of nominal situations for the crew that 113 00:09:23,750 --> 00:09:20,560 they have to be able to cope with 114 00:09:28,470 --> 00:09:23,760 so the crew has to be prepared even for 115 00:09:32,790 --> 00:09:31,110 they can have some additional situations 116 00:09:47,269 --> 00:09:32,800 in addition to those that are in their 117 00:09:50,870 --> 00:09:49,110 there won't be any phenomenal situations 118 00:09:52,310 --> 00:09:50,880 aboard the station that is why we are 119 00:09:55,110 --> 00:09:52,320 preparing 120 00:09:58,470 --> 00:09:56,790 pretty confident 121 00:10:01,269 --> 00:09:58,480 we won't have any 122 00:10:02,630 --> 00:10:01,279 phenomenal situations so 123 00:10:07,990 --> 00:10:02,640 we are prepared for them but we hope 124 00:10:10,310 --> 00:10:09,350 the thing is that 125 00:10:17,590 --> 00:10:10,320 the 126 00:10:19,269 --> 00:10:17,600 and sometimes we just put in some 127 00:10:23,670 --> 00:10:19,279 phenomenal situations 128 00:10:28,230 --> 00:10:25,829 it's ready to cope with them so they're 129 00:10:30,509 --> 00:10:28,240 even ready to cope with those optimal 130 00:10:33,350 --> 00:10:30,519 situations that are 131 00:10:35,910 --> 00:10:33,360 non-standard that they wouldn't expect 132 00:10:40,230 --> 00:10:38,150 sometimes we just 133 00:10:42,870 --> 00:10:40,240 have nominal day for 134 00:10:46,310 --> 00:10:42,880 during the simulation and the crew 135 00:10:48,150 --> 00:10:46,320 go for that very well as well 136 00:10:50,069 --> 00:10:48,160 the crew copes with the softness station 137 00:10:54,470 --> 00:10:50,079 very well so 138 00:10:56,870 --> 00:10:54,480 both on board the station and during the 139 00:10:58,870 --> 00:10:56,880 simulations of of course it's better to 140 00:11:01,350 --> 00:10:58,880 practice those demonstrations here on 141 00:11:05,030 --> 00:11:01,360 the ground and in space 142 00:11:10,069 --> 00:11:05,040 so i hope we won't have any emergencies 143 00:11:14,949 --> 00:11:12,389 the crew is very good alex 144 00:11:18,550 --> 00:11:14,959 kodov is a very experienced cosmonaut he 145
